Yo community, I was hoping to get some advice for a good motherboard for Overclocking!
The CPU I'm going to get is the Intel i5 4670k, I was planning on overclocking to around 4.2GHz (maybe less it depends) nothing extreme to be honest.
I was looking at the MSI Z87-G43 but from research people kept advising to go towards ASUS and Gigabyte. I really don't know which motherboard to go for, I don't really want to spend over £100 on the motherboard (I could but I want to keep the build under £1000 but I will go over if I have to).
So what do you recommend?
Thanks.

Maybe get the i5 4590K and Asus Z97-A , Both shouldn't be too expensive.
